Welcome to French I! This year, we will learn the foundations to the French language, focusing on: listening, speaking, reading, and writing; acquiring vocabulary; and learning about the culture of France and countries around the world where French is spoken.
Laura Lawless has a great site where she teaches every concept from the most basic to the most complex. This could help you all through high school, college and beyond.
You can stream live music and discussion from around the French speaking world, in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Quebec... Hear it as it is really spoken and sung on the radio.
